在经济疲弱的背景下，金融和专业行业对传统写字楼需求大减，然而，健身、医疗美容等行业需求仍然持续增长，核心甲厦由「办公楼」走向「半零售化」。中环新世界大厦全层面积逾万方呎，由健身美容中心进驻，平均呎租75元。

中环新世界大厦27楼全层原本由新创建使用多年，早前新创建迁至长沙湾地标甲厦南商金融创新中心，该27楼全层亦成功租出，市场消息透露，该全层面积约10270方呎，新租户健身美容中心承租，平均呎租约75元，月租约77万。

业内人士指出，随着新世界自用旗下长沙湾新落成地标甲厦「83琼林街」多层楼面及区内同系甲厦，中环新世界大厦腾出部分楼面出租，此策略性安排，既带旺旗下重锤打造的九龙西商业圈，亦可透过出租核心区甲厦增加收入。

面积约10270呎月租77万

事实上，近期甲厦租客结构出现变化，金融及专业行业在经历贸易战、疫情、经济不景面对压力，对传统甲厦需求减少。

随着人们注重健康，对自我提升的重视，健身、医美行业及教育等半零售行业需求持续上升，陆续进驻甲厦以填补空档，甲厦大业主亦升级设施以开拓新客源。

元朗溱柏地铺近亿元沽

新世界就旗下中环新世界大厦作锐意转型，去年引入健康、专业医美及医疗行业，由疫情前占大厦的10%增加至当时35%，提高整体出租率，该类型行业普遍签下较长租约。

新世界近年沽售旗下非核心物业。元朗溱柏6间地铺，今年年初以意向价1.1亿放售，新近以近1亿沽售。代理指，买家为区内资深投资者，看好「北部都会区」发展，购入作为收租用途，计划租予零售餐饮，估计投资回报近5厘，上述6间地铺面积介乎650至5200方呎。

今年3月，新世界以40亿沽出愉景新城商场，随后以1.15亿售出西贡傲泷商场，旗下长沙湾甲厦83永康街卖现楼，首批入场费约721万，呎价介乎约1.2万至1.4万。

该27楼原本由新创建使用，早前新创建迁至长沙湾甲厦，该全层由健身美容中心承租。

Big housing rebound predicted, deals jump

Fifteen transactions were recorded in Hong Kong's 10 major housing estates over the weekend ahead of an anticipated US interest rate cut.

This came as an eminent Hong Kong economist said he expects a significant rebound for the local property market as interest rates are lowered.

Transactions at the 10 blue-chip estates nearly doubled during the weekend, compared to eight deals a week ago, according to a local property agency. The 15 deals represented a half-year high, the agency said, adding that the number of estates that recorded no deals also narrowed to two during the period.

Many buyers rushed to snap up high-quality second-hand flats ahead of the expected rate cut, driving a strong rebound of transactions, an agent said .

Another local property agency also reported 15 deals at the 10 major estates over the weekend amid a lack of large-scale new project launches, alongside rate-cut expectations.

If Hong Kong's mortgage rates could come down, overall residential transactions see a boost by the end of the year, and the primary market in particular will perform better, another agent said.

This came as Lam Pun-lee, former associate professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, said the current downturn in Hong Kong's property market is the smallest among the four adjustment cycles the city has experienced, and he expects the upcoming US interest rate cut will help the market bottom out .

Historical data shows that the property market often continues to fall for three to six years, with a drop of about 30 percent to 60 percent, Lam said.

However, property prices can often recover for more than 10 years after hitting a bottom, which would be "quite a substantial rebound," he added.

In other news, a new report from the first agency showed that starter homes have been the hardest hit among property foreclosure deals. Flats priced under HK$7 million accounted for 90 percent of those flats whose owners were unable to pay the mortgages.

As of August, the number of home foreclosures has reached over 340, marking a fresh high in 17 years and surpassing the levels seen during the 2008 financial tsunami.
